Blue Exorcist 147 summary
The official translation is delayed relative to the raws this month so I get to paraphrase a chapter just like old times! The nostalgia!
Fairly detailed spoilers and no images:
Asmodeus goes on about how Shura is full of contradictions (young but also somehow aged, cold like ice but with a burning passion, full of life but death has always been close by) and says she's his type (ewwwww)
Shura says Asmodeus is not her type, sorry, and shoots him full of icicles XD
He tells her to go deeper with it (eeeewwwwwwwww), the pain makes him feel alive
Rin and Yukio have another round of "BUT SHURA!" "BUT THE WHOLE MISSION!" and the mission wins out
They safely make it to the door with the rest of the team, but the door won't open normally so we've got some kind of RPG style door puzzle on our hands
Yukio sees the L (probably Left) and R (probably right) on the doors but that doesn't explain THAT MESSED UP LITTLE DISPLAY OVER THERE
So the real question is what on EARTH does the bleeding corpse suspended over a meat grinder with the inscription "VL" mean
Yukio and Neuhaus together wonder if the V is roman numeral 5 and 5L means you have to give it five liters of blood (one person's worth) to open it
They get as far as wondering if you could just borrow like a freshly dead corpse from the battlefield, (they're not using their blood anymore, does it HAVE to be fresh?) before Rin is like….yeah we could take a look at the whole thing from above first though?
Heh I think Rin is using fire to burn some footholds as he and Yukio climb? (Edit: wait I'm dumb it's Satan's fire, I already forgot that the walls burn you when you try to climb them lol) Yukio showed off his fireproofness and Rin was all impressed and Yukio very nearly almost smiled
MEANWHILE Amon is struggling with Osceola more than he thought
In fact, the fight has damaged/destroyed his emerald ring! His 10.8 carat emerald ring!! Tragic
He stomps on Osceola brutally while yelling THAT WAS WORTH MORE THAN YOUR DUMB HUMAN LIFE
and OH JESUS IS THAT A DISEMBODIED ARM
My Concern For Osceola Gauge just spiked again guys
Katoh please he's two days from retirement!!
Amon decides screw it, he's just gonna blow everything up at this point. Apparently being a sun god comes with the ability to go supernova and be reborn later (Huh! The sun disk over his head is his demon heart! and he's able to shatter it and have it reform)
It'll take like ten minutes for this drama man to do his drama thing so let's cut back to the kids
Rin and Yukio find that the door leads to a bottomless pit even if you DO get it open
So what gives? L might be "left" but what's the V?
Rin observes that there's some patterns/symbols/something on the ground. Yukio recognizes them as Indo-Arabic numerals. V is 7.
So I guess the seventh symbol on the left is the real door. They go there and find a little hidden entrance.
No blood sacrifice required! The weird meat machine is a gross red herring!
I feel like this is a lil jab at the first anime ending XD
On the way to bring everyone to the entrance, we run into This Asshole Again
("BUT SHURA!" "BUT THE WHOLE MISSION!")
Asmodeus says that it's a pretty sweet gig, being a demon of his or Amon's level. Easy to find hosts and they don't disintegrate too fast.
But BECAUSE of that, you don't REALLY get to feel alive
(He shoots nasty energy beams at the kids and Shura defends them as he's saying this)
Asmodeus says that pain and fear and despair are all proof that you're alive! And he can live vicariously through Shura by making her feel these things! Ew!
Cliffhanger on him winding up to kill someone or other in front of an exhausted Shura, while Osceola tries to stand up
Osceola is just absolutely maxing out my Concern For Osceola Gauge in that last panel. Concern levels are off the charts here

"But- Chi Chi, why would I ever want to stab you??" Annalise balked. "I don't wanna hurt you! I'll stab for you, though!

me, looking at a gif: what I wouldn't give to have someone touch me like that
the gif: someone pressing their hand to their friend's forehead to check for a fever
